Skunk Skins In Parcel Post.

Published in the Lake County Independent, Libertyville, Illinois on Friday, January 24, 1913

It was a package of fresh skunk hides, mailed by a trapper on a rural route. Because fresh breezes were blowing in the country the rural route carrier was able to bring the parcel post to Decatur, but as soon as he carried it into the building the force of clerks went out by another door.
